So what you're saying is if it goes down in the Pacific, you're volunteering to get a little wet?

No, because it will float to the UK and perhaps float around the UK to

Folks I had fun this year and would like to be in the next one as well. Good luck to the winner and thanks for starting this CTW.
Cant wait to see the card now. LOL Now did it go east of NZ ? or west when it left? HUM?

Well !!!! I am still awaiting for the package to arrive in swamp land UK. I was expecting it to have arrived a few days ago.

 

[Mad Oshea]

I wonder if it went by way of Austrailia? No telling how the postal ships. I think it slowed down a bit.

I hope so..it might be closer to my guess. ..it must have gone west at this rate...its been about 14 days..so it should be there tomorrow or the next few days

You guys are way off the mark. Package was delivered at n.z. post shop 19/02.2014 in the mid afternoon. First stage would commence 20/02/2014 to possibly Auckland first (2-3 days). Possibly left n.z. 24/02/2012 as postal service is practically non existent over the weekends. Time period to date is only 9 days in total or 7 if weekends are excluded.
N.Z. postal service has declined considerably (and most countries) due to technology and postal services struggling, hence the slow service.
Mark, I reckon you still have to wait at least another week if not two!!

Well Ben in SA sent me a few seeds. he posted them on the 21st and they fell through my letterbox yesterday the 27th. (6 days) that has got to be a record, I will take back what I said regarding the African Queen

Hold onto your Tugboat lads, it arrived back on home soil this morning at 07.26am. It was posted onto Madhouse bill within the hour, Truly an epic journey for the seeds. I remember the day this started.

It has been fun to follow and take part in. Good to hear.

 

[grgfinney]

It was fun and a chance to get new varieties for the cost of postage it should be an annual occurence

 

[FALaholic]

Wow I really want to see what that package looks like now.

 

[Mad Oshea]

Can't wait to see it My self LOL. I had a blast! I want in next year as well. HINT-HINT

the contest winner gets the seeds, we know that. How about a plaque or shadow box display of all the postmarks, to be "sold" in a mini-auction with the proceeds being donated to FTT, which made this journey possible.?

You'd need a really fast typist for the auctioneer.
